Re: 8Gb usb keey - max file size

NTFS is a journaled file system. journaled file systems will perform more read/write cycles to the device and this will dramatically decrease the life expectancy of the device. i would not suggest formatting the device to NTFS. if you would still like to try you will need to optimize the device for performance. to do this go to device manager under disk drives right click the device and select properties. then choose the policies tab and select optimize for performance. after this is done you will have NTFS as an option when formatting the device. (note if you optimize the device for performance you MUST use the safely remove hardware before disconnecting the device to prevent data corruption.)
